  Great place to go if you are a baseball fan. Many exhibits that you could spend all day reading and viewing the material. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable. They have a great gift shop as well with reasonably priced items if you're not looking to spend a fortune. A fun place to bring children as well. There are many nice places to eat in the surrounding area,which is a cute town.
